Tonight, I finally did something that I have been meaning to do for quite a while. I cooked Tacos using what is called beef boost instead of regular ground beef. What is beef boost, you ask? Beef boost is a blend of the ground beef everyone knows and loves with beef liver (The beef boost I bought is 90% ground beef to 10% liver). If you are like me, the idea of eating liver is not very appetizing. Trust me, I was not expecting something to salivate over... I was pretty sure it would taste pretty gross actually. Then WHY was I so excited to start cooking with this boost? Because I know how great eating organ meat is for our bodies, and I was ready to bite the bullet and start benefiting from this powerful superfood…yes, I said superfood.​

During this time of year I'm always looking to more earthy, heartier, rustic dishes to warm body and soul. Chestnuts similar mushrooms not only pair nicely with many wines but also contain great benefits. Including folate which you find in leafy greens as well as a good source of fats the body needs. Check out the additional vitamins and minerals chestnuts provide below and enjoy your winter celebrating.

As the holiday season draws near, we all try to find ways to enjoy the food without the consequences of eating it. The danger here is the misleading advertisements that tempt you with low or zero-sugar items and even low glycemic index sugars. Many of us have heard about the perils of aspartame, but that is not the only harmful sugar substitute. Erythritol is another artificial sweetener that is commonly found in sports drinks, energy drinks, and chocolate bars. It boasts zero calories and zero effect on your blood sugar. However, the downsides to it are hardly discussed. It is made from man-made GMO cornstarch, so it is an ultra-processed food. Not only is it a GMO, but it is also often combined with other artificial sweeteners. It can cause gastrointestinal problems like diarrhea and are even more severe for children. Erythritol may even cause allergic reactions on your skin. So, while the “zero”s are appealing, especially when we are all consuming extra sweets, they come with their own set of issues. There’s even less reason to consume erythritol when there are so many healthier sugar substitutes at our disposal like stevia, raw honey, and monk fruit. These are substitutes that also do something for our health. What we consume should not just pass through us unnoticed, it should benefit our bodies.

​A year ago when I decided to make a change to become a personal chef it was the best decision of my life. I went from making food and creating dishes for mostly people I would never see not utilizing my background in Nutrition to help and often time the opposite making delicious food that wasn’t the healthiest.These days I see the impact of my job every day. Clients who are well on the road to better health, parents telling me they get to spend more time with their kids, individuals who wore off vegetables years ago now wanting them more then ever. I get to use my degree in nutrition and my background in fine dinning and seasonal cooking to make a positive impact on peoples lives.Not that it wasn’t without challenges along the way. With the support of the Whole Health Everyday chef team there was never a diet problem, new diet, or situation someone hasn’t encountered and couldn’t help me through.I look forward to the next year and helping more people eat and feel better

​Intermittent Fasting (IF) is the hot new phrase that is being used all across the health and fitness community. It is an eating pattern, rather than a diet, that goes between periods of fasting and feasting. There are different ways to accomplish this style of eating, but the most popular patterns are highlighted below. • 16/8 protocol-skip breakfast, restrict eating period to 8 hours (ex: 12-8pm), and fast for 16 hours • 24 hour protocol-fast for 24 hours, once or twice per week •5:2 protocol-eat normally, then consume 500-600 calories on two non-consecutive days in the week

​The Mexican Riviera, specifically the city of Tulum has been a hot travel destination for the last few years. Pictures of its perfect turquoise waters, cream colored sandy beaches and jungle hideouts have been a regular fixture on everyone’s Instagram. My husband and I decided to make it this year’s vacation destination and we found that it had much more to offer than its natural beauty and hippy chic vibe. Our main reason for visiting this area was the world-class diving in the famous freshwater cenotes and coral reefs off the coast of Cozumel. And to be sure, it was world class. If you enjoy scuba diving or even just snorkeling the state of Quintana Roo (which encompasses Cancun, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen and Tulum) is one of the best in locations in the world.
